HOW TO FLASH ROM ON JADE FROM THE SD CARD (Thx to Haree) (Original Thread)

1. Rename the .nbh file of your rom of choice to JADEIMG.nbh, drop into the root of your SD card.

2.Poweroff your phone

3.hold the volume down key and while continuing to hold it power on ur phone

4. The Phone will go into the bootloader mode, and will auto detect the rom image from the SD Card and ask if you want to proceed by hitting the power button. Hit the power button and the rom will install

Note : it should take about 10-15 mins

also make sure that ur SD card is Fat32 or format the same to Fat32 & use a smaller memory card the smaller the better

this is as per my experience using the above method on my previous phone ie gene(P3400i)
